Chapter 1
"Sit boy!"
Inuyasha cried out when his face came crashing down onto the ground, his back hurting and his face on fire. He cursed the beads as he tried to pull himself back up, the beads at first pulling him back down. He fought against it though, slowly rising up and sitting down with a grunt. He looked to Kagome with a growl, wanting nothing more than to show her how painful getting sat was. He wiped his face, his ears twitching when he heard her stomp away.
"You wench! Why would you go and believe Miroku anyways!" Inuyasha barked, crying out again when he was sat again.
He swore, one of these days he was going to show her how painful it was when she did that.
"Inuyasha, maybe she wouldn't have believed me if you did not constantly go see Kikyo." Inuyasha jumped to his feet, growling at Miroku. Miroku raised his hands in defense, a sheepish smile touching his lips.
"It's not like I'm pointing it out, it's just so obvio-" Miroku bit his tongue when Inuyasha hit his head, putting hands to both of his injured body parts. Sango rolled her eyes, getting up and going after Kagome. She felt the girl should have expected as much. Yes it was kind of rude for Inuyasha to see Kikyo the way he did, but it was obvious to everybody but him that Kagome liked him. She sighed, following the tracks her shoes left behind.
She looked to Kilala when she walked up next to her, smiling down at her before looking back to Kagome's tracks.
"Those two are ridiculous, aren't they?" She asked, Kilala answering with a low purr. She suddenly stopped though, her tails going straight up and her entire body shaking. She shifted to her larger size, growling at something in the bushes.
"What is it?" Sango whispered, slowly taking out her Hiraikotsu. She glared into the bushes, waiting for anything. She suddenly felt a demonic pressure unlike any other, her eyes widening when she heard a scream.
"Kagome," she gasped, jumping onto Kilala.
"Go!" She ordered, Kilala bolting into the air. Above the trees Sango saw what looked to be a giant body of stone, but it wasn't a demon. The pressure though stated that it was, Sango's eyes widening when she saw Kagome in its grasp. It was running away with her, Kagome screaming at it to let her go.
Sango aimed Hiraikotsu for its neck, jumping down from Kilala before throwing it.
"Hiraikotsu!" It hit the back of the demons neck, the body not stopping even though a large slice of its neck was removed. Purple smoke started to gush out, Sango frowning as she landed back on Kilala, grabbing her weapon.
"What is that?" She whispered as she put her mask on, feeling something wasn't right. She gasped when demons started to pour out of its wound, Kilala roaring as Sango threw her Hiraikotsu.
"Iron reaver soul stealer!" Sango looked to the side at the sound of Inuyasha's voice, feeling relieved when she saw both Miroku and Inuyasha had came to Kagome's rescue. The larger rock demon started to slow down as more demons fled from its body, its steps becoming heavier and heavier. Kilala darted towards Kagome when the demon started to fall, Sango reaching out to grab her. She couldn't reach her though, gasping as the demon fell. Kagome reached for her, her eyes widening when their fingers barely touched.
"Sango!" She screamed, the demon smashing against the ground. It's body broke up into pieces, Inuyasha darting over and pushing the rocks away.
"Kagome! Kagome answer me!" Inuyasha yelled, Kilala landing on the ground. Sango jumped off, running over to the pile of rocks. She used Hiraikotsu to move the rocks, Miroku using his staff. Sango saw her green skirt, her eyes widening at the sight of blood.
"Kagome!" She gasped, moving the rest of the rocks off her body. Kagome's clothes were cut, blood staining her clothing and skin. Sango picked her up, walking quickly over to Kilala.
"We have to get her to Kaede now," she told Inuyasha who was about to protest. Sango knew he wanted to take care of her, but right now his strength could do nothing. Sango placed Kagome down on Kilala's back, gritting her teeth at the sight of her blood staining Kilala's fut. She hopped onto Kilala's back, holding onto Kagome as Kilala bolted into the air. Miroku gasped, looking to Inuyasha who was already jumping to keep up. He sighed, running after them.

Kaede wrapped up Kagome's arm, her ripped and bloody clothing replaced by a clean kimono. Inuyasha was forced to wait outside, Sango hearing the hanyou pacing back and forth in worry. Sango could understand his worry, sitting opposite of Kaede as she watched her bandage her pale skin.
"Kaede, is she alright?" Sango whispered, Kaede sighing as she sat back after finishing with her arm. She turned to a bowl of water that had been stained red with Kagome's blood, Sango looking away.
If she had just moved a little closer, had reached a little farther, she and Kagome could have been laughing this off by now.
"Even though rocks fell on her, she is not hurt badly. Mostly scrapes and bruises. Her arm was cut deep, but either than that, she appears fine." Kaede gently turned Kagome's head, showing Sango a small laceration surrounded by a bruise on the side of her head.
"This worries me though. The cut was small, but her head was hit hard. I am afraid I do not know when she will wake up." Sango frowned, Inuyasha suddenly stomping into the hut.
"What do you mean you don't know when she'll wake up?" He asked, Kaede calm as she gently moved Kagome's head back. She put a cold cloth on her head, picking up the bowl and standing up.
"She has a concussion. A mild case would cause nausea, dizziness, and so forth. A severe case could lead to coma. I do not know how bad hers is, so I cannot say when she will wake."
Inuyasha glared down at Kagome as Kaede left, his gaze softening when he sat down. Sango stood up, walking over to the exit. She stopped by Inuyasha, putting a hand to his shoulder.
"It isn't your fault Inuyasha."
When Inuyasha wished for her to feel his pain, he hadn't expected it to actually happen.

"My Lord, where are we going?" Sesshomaru looked to Rin who was walking beside Uh-Un, a wide smile on her face as she hummed. Sesshomaru did not bother to respond to Jaken's question, stepping into a clearing. Rin ran over to a flower bed, Sesshomaru tilting his nose up towards the wind that blew by. A stench was in the air.
A demonic presence had caught his interest, Sesshomaru wishing to sate his own curiosity rather than protect his lands.
"Jaken, stay here." Jaken gasped, Rin singing softly as she picked some flowers. Jaken ran after him as he walked towards the shelter of the trees, hearing Uh-Un groan softly as he rested down next to her.
"But Lord Sesshom-"
"Do you question my commands, Jaken?" Jaken's words were caught in his throat, his body visibly shaking when Sesshomaru looked over his shoulder to him. Jaken bowed, Sesshomaru looking away as he continued on.
"I would never question your commands Lord Sesshomaru!" Wind whirled around his feet, a cloud forming. Sesshomaru was lifted up into the air, his eyes searching as he traveled to the source of the stench. It led him to a pile of rocks, Sesshomaru touching his feet to the ground as his cloud dissipated. He breathed in the foul scent, trying to distinguish it. He narrowed his eyes when he felt a faint trace of demonic pressure on the rocks, walking over slowly.
He saw a piece of cloth on one of the rocks, picking it up and bringing it to his nose. He smelled Kagome, dropping the cloth to the ground. He looked down to a white snake that circled around him, touching against his chest. It burned, dissipating into ash. Sesshomaru turned, facing Kikyo who stood a few feet away.
"This had been a golem. It was being controlled by a collection of demon souls." Sesshomaru turned when he caught a faint scent of the stench leading away from the rocks, walking away as he followed his nose.
He stopped when another white snake wrapped around him loosely, touching it's snout to his chest. It burned into ash, Sesshomaru looking to Kikyo over his shoulder.
"Don't hurt Inuyasha, Sesshomaru."
Sesshomaru at that moment didn't particularly care for Inuyasha, only wanting to know what the stench was from. He had a list of all the witches and demons that could make a golem, he would look into that and keep a close eye on them. The stench was what interested him most at that moment, wind whirling around his feet. He was lifted up into the air by a cloud, Sesshomaru narrowing his eyes when the stench mixed with another.
He stopped in front of a village, pinpointing the stench from the main hut. He touched his feet to the ground, walking into the village. A mother looked up from a rag she had been ringing out, bowing to him before leading her daughter inside. The stench did not linger on them so he left them alone, stopping and taking out his sword.
He blocked an attack aimed for him, Inuyasha growling as he barked nonsense at him. The stench did not come from him either, Sesshomaru kicking him away. He continued on his way to the hut, an elderly lady walking out. She had beads around her wrist but she quickly hid them, Sesshomaru looking past her to the opening of the hut when he did not smell the stench on her.
"It is a pleasure to see you here, my Lord." Sesshomaru blocked another one of Inuyasha's attacks, growing tired of his antics.
"I am not here for your sword, Inuyasha."
He pushed him away, Inuyasha growling softly as he grew nearer to the hut.
"Then what are you doing here asshole!" Sesshomaru ignored him, walking past the elderly lady. He walked into the hut, looking to the young demon slayer and monk that stood. He did not smell the stench on either of them, looking to the girl laying on the futon, the little demon next to her moving away.
"Sesshomaru…"
The stench came from Kagome. Sesshomaru moved closer, getting down to one knee.
"Don't touch her?!" Inuyasha barked as he stomped inside, Sesshomaru once again ignoring him. He reached a hand forward, frowning when he was shocked by a barrier. He reached forward again, slowly pushing his hand through the barrier.
"What the hell are you doing?!" Inuyasha barked, Sesshomaru gritting his teeth as he felt the current of electricity and purity run up his arm. His hand stopped a few inches from her chest, something slimy felt against his skin. A demon slug appeared, Sesshomaru frowning as he pulled his hand back when it started to drain her faster. He heard the other's gasp but ignored them, thinking silently.
Her body knew it was being attacked so created a barrier, but it had failed to realize the demon was already draining her of her life force. His list was considerably shortened, Sesshomaru sighing through his nose as he stood, the slug hiding itself with the barrier once again.
He wiped his hand on his hakama.
A witch could not have done this. The slug would have attached itself to her like a parasite, draining too much of her life force to have created the golem. Whoever created the golem was a demon.
"A slug demon I see. That was the foul scent I detected." The elderly woman placed a sutra on Kagome's neck to slow the process and eventually detach it, Sesshomaru looking to Inuyasha.
"You are to come with me." Inuyasha sputtered, Sesshomaru leaving the hut. Inuyasha followed him, Sesshomaru waiting for his outburst.
"Why should I follow you idiot?!" Inuyasha barked, Sesshomaru turning to face him.
"The slug draws on demon energy to drain its victim faster. Even as a half demon, it could draw on your energy." Inuyasha growled, touching a hand to Tetsusaiga.
"How do I know I can trust you?" Inuyasha asked a tad more calmly, Sesshomaru turning and walking away. Wind whirled around his feet, Sesshomaru breathing deeply.
"If you wish for her to perish, stay."
